I remember this theater having 2 balconies it was an amazing place for a kid in the late 50’s early 60’s…. I saw Doris Day in Jumbo there and the screen had a little blue patch on it !!! It was demolished in the early 70’s along with the Strand next door.. I was able to get in and look around a bit…the whole back ( screen ) area was already gone but we couls sit in seats in the 2nd balcony and imagine again . Found some press sheets or giveaways as they were called for Children of the damned reckon that was the last film to be shown. Would LOVE to hear from anybody with memories of this great theater and pictures!!!!

Closes Park Theatre in Taunton, Mass.
TAUNTON, MASS. —– The Park Theatre has been closed, leaving the Strand as the town’s only operating motion picture theatre. Richard Bentley, attorney for the Park, ascribed its closing to “competition” and “lack of patronage.”

The theatre is owned by Mrs. Bentley, Mrs. Margaret Lawson and Mrs. Rosemary O'Neill, who have put it up for sale. The Park has a seating capacity of 1,600 and is known for having one of the largest stages in New England.
